The Tata Nexon has proved to be a game changer – not just for Tata Motors, but the entire compact SUV segment! It’s a product that has made competitors sit up and take notice with its success while also raking in serious volumes for the manufacturer. Its electric version has proved to be a runaway success too and is now a lot more than just a derivative of the ICE-powered Nexon, which you will read about in the following pages. Heck, the Tata Nexon has been India’s best-selling SUV for two years, which should give you a fair idea of its popularity and success. For now though, let’s focus on the petrol and diesel versions of this uber-popular compact SUV.
Admittedly, it’s the bold purple colour that really makes this updated Nexon look and feel a lot more upmarket. A lot of the cool quotient comes from this new hue, besides the design of course. The DRLs look a lot more upmarket now, even reminding me of the Lamborghini Urus, especially on the purple version. In fact, the front end looks all-new and you would be forgiven to assume this is a generation change, even though it isn’t — that’s how extensive the updates are! Of course, given its importance, the design team at Tata Motors, led by Martin Ulharik, seems to have poured its heart and soul into ensuring the updated Nexon is a class apart.
